Botanical Name: Heuchera ‘TNHEU042’ HEW-ker-ah Common Name: Dolce® Key Lime Pie coral bells Genus: Heuchera

Heucheras have undergone a breeding revolution in the last decade, with dozens of new cultivars appearing in many combinations of foliage color. While all are pleasing foliage plants, the lighter-colored varieties, with leaves in the amber-to-gold range, seem better adapted to shade. The most popular of these shade-loving varieties is Dolce® Key Lime Pie, with bright gold–chartreuse leaves. This evergreen gem prefers excellent drainage and will light up a dark, shady area.

‘Plum Pudding’ has purple foliage that is lighter than many other burgundy heucheras, and its leaves are marbled with silvery highlights. It forms a uniform, dense mound with airy sprays of small white flowers in early summer. If you keep the soil from drying out, then the foliage will shimmer through the cold months in mild winters.

Heuchera make excellent foliage plants for sun to part shade gardens. Most flowers are not as impressive as the foliage, but they do add a second level of interest.

Daylilies are classic, extremely popular garden plants. They feature long, arching, strappy leaves and long stems of generally 6-petaled flowers, though double flowers are popular as well. Each flower lasts only one day, hence the plant’s common name. Daylilies come in a wide range of colors, from cream and cheery yellow to peach, orange, fiery red, deep burgundy, pink, and purple. Some have contrasting throats and "eye-zones." Daylilies are ideal for a mixed herbaceous perennial border.
